Flavor Flav charged with DUI in Vegas
Well known Rap Star Flavor Flav (William Jonathan Drayton) was arrested in May, 2015 for Driving under the influence of drugs (DUID), speeding and open container. This happened near McCarran International Airport near Las Vegas, Nevada. According to the Nevada Highway Patrol Flav was initially stopped for driving 87 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone. After the Officer noticed the open alcohol container and conducted a DUI investigation, Flav was arrested. Apparently the blood test came back in July of 2015 and disclosed the presence of cocaine.
Flavor Flav was born on March 16, 1959 and gained popularity as a member of Public Enemy a hip hop group. The group’s Public Enemy #1 brought them national attention. Def Jam signed Flav in 1986. Public Enemy went on to release Takes a Nations of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fight the Power.
Flav was a child prodigy; a self taught pianist at five years of age. Subsequently mastering 15 musical instruments. Flav dropped out of high school before graduation and did time for robbery and breaking and entering. He also graduated from cooking school. In recent years Flav has been involved in several reality shows such as The Surreal Life, Strange Love and Flavor of Life. Flav also made news through his relationship with Brigitte Nielsen and their show Strange Love. Flav was the subject of a comedy roast in 2007. Attending were Snoop Dog, Jimmy Kimmel, Jeff Ross, Carrot Top, Ice-T, Greg Giraldo and others. Flav also starred in Under One Roof with Kelly Perine.
Flav has been in and out of the prison system during his life. Hopefully he understood that he had the right to request an attorney before answering any questions from the Nevada Highway Patrol. Hopefully he understood that he could refuse a search of his person via the standardized field sobriety tests or a preliminary breath test device. Flav needs to find a good lawyer in Nevada who understands that the standardized field sobriety tests are only vetted to show a probability of a blood alcohol content above or below the legal limit. These tests have not been validated to show drug impairment. Any attempt to use them in that fashion is simply wrong.
